Two states chose endangered species for thefr state birdr Hawaii took the nene (Hawaiian goose),' and Louisiana, the brown pelican: Oregon's state bird is the 'western meadowlark, chosen in 192? in a poll of school children conducted by the Oregon Audubon Society. The most popular official mammal among the 23 states that have named one, is the white-tailed deer, chosen by South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi. Three states appointed endangered mam mals as their mascots: Con necticut, the sperm whale; Florida, the manatee; and Hawaii, the humpback whale. Virginia declined to name a state mammal, but chose instead to appoint an official state dog: the foxhound, of course, in honor of the state's renowned fox hunts. Maryland also named an official state dog-the Chesapeake Bay re triever, while Idaho calls the Appaloosa its official state horse. , Oregon's state animal is the American beaver, designated in 1969 by the State Legisla ture. Every state has an official tree, and 18 chose a conifer from the longleaf pine (Ala bama) to the Black Hills spruce (South Dakota). Other popular species are the oak, elm. and maple, while Missis sippi, naturally, chose the magnolia. Mississippi also named the magnolia its official state flower, as did Louisiana. Five states and the District of Columbia decided that a rose, by any name, is sweet. So, D.C. went with the American Beauty rose; Georgia, the Cherokee rose; Iowa, the wild rose: North Dakota, the wild prairie rose; and New York, which isn't picky, just the rose. '; Oregon's choice of flower is the Oregon grape, named by the Legislature in 1899. Of the 18 states that decided to designate an official insect, nine chose the honeybee, that helpful pollinator. Connecticut honors the praying mantis, the gardener's delight, while Cal ifornia went with the yellow and black dogface butterfly. Oregon has no official insect. As for official fish, 26 states were lured into naming one. Bass, both large and small mouth, white, and striped, were chosen by ten states. Nine states named five variet ies of trout-golden, rainbow, brook, steelheed, and the black spotted cutthroat, which is endangered in its sponsor state of Montana. Oregon's official fish is the chinook salmon, named by the 1981 Legislature.
